Friday I met with Yunseo. I began by asking her about her day at school, about her snacks and her likes/dislikes. She brought a book about Helen Keller with her, so I asked her a bunch of questions about it and other similar books, like the Thomas Edison one she brought last time. We primarily used this book for her lesson. I asked her to summarize what had happened so far, and I asked a lot of comprehension questions that I had her write the questions to. We then read for a while. She focuses more and actually wants to read a lot more when there is a timer. For example, I'll set it for 5 minutes and tell her she has to read until it is over. She is way less distracted this way, and accomplishes a lot more. Then I'll read for a little, and ask her questions about her part and mine, to make sure she's understanding what she's reading and speaking, as well as when she is listening to me read. She answered everything correctly! Then I did a dictation activity, and after we were done I let her read a few sentences for me to write down as well, because it helped her with her speaking, and she wanted to grade me. I made a lot of mistakes on purpose so she could correct them at the end. She thought it was incredibly funny how bad I did, and gave me a 50%, but after we fixed my mistakes she gave me a higher grade. She is very adorable and I love our tutoring sessions!
